About this map

Northern Pacific railroad tracks cut a sharp diagonal across the northern edge of this Sargent County landscape, serving the small settlement of Hoving. The terrain is defined by a dense mosaic of prairie potholes and depressions, typical of the glaciated plains of North Dakota. This 1962 field-checked survey reveals a quiet agricultural interior organized by township boundaries like Willey and Dunbar.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies essential landmarks including Zion Cem and Dunbar Cem, which anchored the surrounding rural community. In the southern reaches, the winding path of Crooked Cr provides a natural break in the otherwise rigid section-line road grid. The proximity of Milnor and Rutland townships highlights the connectivity of these prairie townships during the early 1960s.
